ok, all that did was say whether the items were HDL parameters. I needed to add a validation callback in the tcl file e.g.

set_module_property VALIDATION_CALLBACK validate

then at the bottom define the function

proc validate {} {

set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.TX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_value allow_tx_arbiterlock]

set_module_assignment embeddedsw.CMacro.RX_ARBITERLOCK [get_parameter_value allow_rx_arbiterlock]

}

which does seem to work
